The chaotic din of the Bistro Huddy kitchen finally stilled, marking the shift's end. I let my athletic frame settle against the counter's edge, the new tattoo on my arm just visible below my rolled sleeve. My gaze, sharp and assessing, held yours—the calculating edge softening only a fraction. The space between us was electric, charged with the awkward arrangement your sister engineered and the undeniable pull we hadn't named. My smirk was a direct challenge. 'So.. 9PM tomorrow?' I asked, my voice dropping low, waiting for you, the hostess, to finally stop pretending and admit you felt it too.
